Blue-Eyed Girl Lacquer Polish Pickup Holidays Around the World December 2017 Swatches and Review

It's that time of month again! Polish Pickup is back with the December 2017 theme Holidays Around the World. This is a pop-up shop that opens for pre-orders of indie polish and products on a theme every month. This time it is open December 1 at 11AM EST to December 4 at 11:59PM EST. Today I have Blue-Eyed Girl Lacquer's polish, which pays tribute to the Obon Festival in Japan! The Obon Festival is a Buddist festival for honoring your ancestors, which is a common time to have reunions. Lanterns and the Bon Odori dance are features of the celebration. When I lived in Japan I took part in one of these festivals and learned the Bon Odori!

Blue-Eyed Girl Lacquer Lighting the Way is a iron blue with a mix of multichrome iridescent microflakes, predominantly with a pink-to-green shift. There is also a splash of scattered holo shimmer. It is a gorgeous polish that perfectly evokes paper lanterns against water and a night sky. I wore it in three thin coats, but two will do. Nice formula and quick dry time - it needs top coat to be shiny.

This polish will be available for pre-order fromthe Polish Pickup from December 1 at 11AM EST to December 4 at 11:59PM EST. I am a sucker for both deep blues and these kind of iridescent flakes, so this will be one of my favorite polishes this month, particularly since the Obon Festival is something I remember from my childhood in Japan.

About Me

Located in the middle of nowhere, planted in the cornfields of the Great Plains, I like to enjoy my spot of color. Nail polish adds flashes of otherness to the sea of blue, tan, and white in which I live.
